i am getting an issue when i am trying to power up my xiao esp32c3 and esp32c6 using a 5V power supply
i have tested current limit from 40mA to 120mA, every time i try to power it via VUSB pin, the current drawn from power supply fluctuates, and i am not able to detect it in ble mode

i have even tried using a diode between the vusb pin and power supply, and when i was powering it with USB cable, i checked the current drawn was around 69mA for c6 and 76mA for c3

please help me troubbleshoot this issue

Hello, we do not recommend powering the board directly via the VUSB pin, as this may cause unstable current issues. Additionally, if a Type-C cable is connected at the same time, it could damage the board. We recommend using the Battery Connector pin on the back of the board for a safer and more stable power supply.

hello, i am trying to power it using a DC power supply, as you suggested, i tried using the bat connector pins, i am giving 3.7V and limiting current to 80mA, i am still facing the same problem, the current drawn jumps from 44mA to 80mA.

update, the c3 board takes around 150mA-180mA to turn on once, when using ble, and then it constantly takes around 72mA On Tue, Mar 11, 2025 at 10:38 AM Shivang pathak ***@***.***> wrote:
